I went to my OB-GYNE yesterday to have my check up because I experienced ‘spotting’ and to ask her the possible reason why my menstruation was delayed for two weeks. I though I was pregnant but sorry to say, I’m not. According to my OB-GYNE, the reason for my delayed period is that I have polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS). It is a hormonal problem that causes women to have various symptoms, such as irregular or no menstrual periods, weight gain, dandruff, and infertility. Women who have PCOS do not regularly ovulate – the reason why they do not have regular periods. I realized that this is also the reason why I am not still pregnant despite our efforts to have our second baby. My OB advised me to take progesterone next week to help normalize my period. She also told me that I really have to lose weight and suggested to take the diet pill Reductil. I think it is also time for me to start changing my eating habits. Though, I already started jogging two weeks ago.
